Print Folder Contents??
After a recent problem resolution exercise I am interested
in having a hardcopy of (at least) the OPTIONS\INSTALL folder. A quick run through Google for "how to print folder contents" showed multiple recommendations for a couple of tools. Directory Printer from http://www.karenware.com/powertools/ptdirprn.asp PrintFolder from http://no-nonsense-software.com/freeware/ Have any of you used these tools? Are they safe/good to use with ME? Any other comments. TIA Job remarks, "Sometimes I can't see the trees for the forest!" |

Certainly Karen's Directory Printer is good but I've never tried
PrintFolder. However, in the meantime for an 'urgent' printout, you could always use the Print Screen facility. (The PrtSc button copies the screen to the clipboard and then you can paste it into e.g. Paint and print it out. Mart "Job" wrote in message ...

Another quick and dirty way would be to go to a DOS prompt, run DIR and
pipe the output into a text file which could then be printed or edited via notepad. a) Open a DOS windows (Start | Programs | Accessories | MS-DOS prompt). b) Using CD OPTIONS and then CD INSTALL navigate to the C:\Windows\Options\Install folder c) Then type DIR C:\LIST.TXT this will then place the output of the DIR command in a plain text file list.txt in the root of C: d) Open list.txt using Notepad, edit as necessary and then print. See also KB272623 - "How to add the print directory feature to Windows Explorer" (http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=272623) and KB196628 - "How to Print a Folder Listing in Windows" (http://support.microsoft.com?kbid=196628) (Mart's suggestion). -- Mike Maltby MS-MVP Mart wrote: Certainly Karen's Directory Printer is good but I've never tried PrintFolder.

Thanks for the info Mike. I've never done anything with
DOS, guess it should be another step up my learning ladder. "Mike M" wrote in message ...
